Why this must be read:
Continuing with another MOMA winner for this year, in the category of BEST ADULT NON-ATF AU, Sara gives us one of the best C/V stories ever. It's set in the Yellowstone AU, where the seven are involved with the Yellowstone National Park, either as park rangers or, in Ezra's case, as a fund-raiser for one of the non-profit organizations affiliated with the Park. It's a wonderful and different universe, modern but without the cliches that have attached to the ATF-verse and with some slight variations on the characters that make it all the more interesting.
Sara is, of course, a writer of tremendous talent, and her settings come alive almost as wonderfully as the characters do. This story is a lovely, angsty piece that begs for more. I'm very much looking forward to more from her, especially in this universe!
There were some awesome stories in this category, so it wasn't an easy win, which makes it even more well-deserved.

Vin woke to an empty bed.
He rolled to his side and sat up, wiping the sleep out of his eyes, while he tried to figure out why that felt strange to him.
After all, it had been a long time since anyone'd shared his bed, and it had never been what he'd call a regular thing. But he remembered...
He rubbed his bare chest, soothing the sudden jump and lurch of his heart, as the memories came back: Chris at his door late at night, offering Chris a beer, sitting next to each other on the steps of his camper listening to the night music, Chris's hand on his leg, their first kiss, moving inside and kicking the door closed as the surprise of that kiss turned into a flash-fire of heat. Vin rose to his feet and grabbed his shorts off the floor where they'd been dropped without thought on the trip from doorway to bed.
He stroked the soft, worn knit fabric with his fingertips, remembering the feel of Chris touching him through it, hip and ass held tight as their cocks rubbed together through the fabric, and then without it. His heart jumped in his chest again and he pulled the shorts on over his half-hard dick.
It was obvious, even in the dim moonlight that made its way through the windows, though, that Chris had gone while Vin was sleeping. Without a word.
Damn.
